  Effects of Aspergillus niger treated wheat offal, brewers’ dried grain, and palm kernel cake on growth response, carcass characteristics, and haematology of growing pigs

  By Adegbaju Sunday Wale, S.T. Ogundeji, E. O. Akinfala

  Abstract: The effects of Aspergillus niger-treated wheat offal (WO), brewers’ dried grain (BDG), and palm kernel cake (PKC) on growth response, carcass characteristics, and haematology of growing pigs were evaluated. Thirty-six growing pigs with an average weight of 24.32 ± 0.52 kg were randomly allotted to six dietary treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangements of treated and untreated Aspergillus niger at three dietary fibre sources (WO, BDG, and PKC) …

  Aspergillus niger Treated Wheat Offal, Brewer Dried Grains and Palm Kernel Cake for Growing Pig Diet: Nutrient Utilization

  By Adegbaju Sunday Wale, Samuel T. Ogundeji, Emmanuel O. Akinfala

  Abstract: Microbial treatment of agro-industrial by-products (AIBP) to improve the nutrient utilization challenges in monogastric animals is of great concern. This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of further improvement in the nutritional values of Wheat offal (WO), Brewer dried grains (BDG), and Palm kernel cake (PKC) using Aspergillus niger. A. niger was inoculated into sterilized 300 g of each AIBP for 5 days, mixed with moistened 20 kg of …
